(OOps- I apologize for the last (empty) post- don't know what the hell

I'm doing here!)



Hey everyone-

	I really felt the need to voice my appreciation at all of your

words of support for me- I have to admit I was pretty depressed last nite

after the attack of the anal butthead from hell (and I thought EVERYTHING 

that could go wrong already HAD, as if getting in a motorcycle accident 

and a pregnant cat (I already have 7!) in the last couple of weeks weren't 

enough new problems added onto the heap!)



	You all are very sweet! I feel much better now, and I doubt if 

that guy will ever dare to speak up about it- I woke up today to over a

dozen emails of encouragement, about half of which were from people at

Stanford! I mentioned Stanford for identification purposes only, not to

rag on you all, but I thought it was very funny anyway- people very 

considerately assuring me that not *everyone* at Stanford was so bad-

especially humorous to me because my roommate is from Bezerkeley. Of 

course the first thing he said about the person's rude note was: "Don't 

let it get to you, they're just some priviliged Stanford asshole." Then 

he smirked, and giggled and said, "Of course, I have to say that, I went 

to (UC) Berkeley." It's nice to know the loyalty remains *far* after the 

further education wears off! :)



(Before you Stanford-ites get pissed at him- bear in mind, he not only

has lent me *extensive* use of his computer here, he even paid for me to 

get my *very own* account (got sick of my email clogging up his account :) 

Many of you have also mentioned potential tech writing leads, so you will 

of course be hearing from me on those, and I thank you heartily! 

Here are some of my favorite responses:

************************************************************************

from my pal Nogy-head (nominee for most articulately-put):



whew..give em hell......



u good net seller..me good customer...me testify..





               nogy-head

*************************************************************************

I am sorry this happened to you and I hope it hasn't made you bitter.  

You might be interested to know that I recently left Stanford to join the

ranks of the unemployed.  John Cage saw our plight as a virtue, and was an

advocate of "one hundred percent unemployment."  I can see what he meant, 

but it does have its drawbacks, too.

**********************************************************************

Hi!  Couldn't resist responding after reading your post.  In the words

of (I believe) General George Patton,



        DON'T LET THOSE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN.



I would think that in your current situation, the last thing you need is

some one to stomp on you.  Good for you for not letting him/her get away

with it.  There is always that 10% factor out there...I think you just

ran into it.

************************************************************************

Violet dont let the person who chastised you get to you. Stanford

consists of many pompous asses who take exception to all sorts of

things... including where the sun will come up tomorrow or not!

************************************************************************

...I just thought I would offer a word of support. And also, you can tell 

the person who flamed you to bite me. I might even be able to guess what 

Stanford person it was (a few exceptionally obnoxious people DO exist 

around here, and I apologize for them).

*************************************************************************

PS: I don't see why anyone would think you were a business: "Here we are 

at crazy clothing/software/appliance saving center - and everything has 

to go!"

***********************************************************************

My personal favorite (I can defintiely relate, although I have no idea

what the cartoon is they refer to):



(in 1st letter):

God, if you haven't slept much, Barney & Friends looks like Gigglesnort 

Hotel on even more acid.  I want to kill the green female thing.



(in 2nd letter):

And sorry about the abusive person.  We're not all that bad.

************************************************************************

Well, thanks again, and I *really* mean it!!! It warms my heart to know 

that if life just *has* to be such utter hell, at least there's a few 

truly cool humans out there I'm squatting on this planet with! Especially

in net land, where it's so easy for people to remain anonymous, and to

show their nasty sides without fear of reproach (Incidentally, I fingered

his file, so you at Stanford can leave doggie-doo-doo on his door for me!)

<--(A joke). Oh yes, and for the terminally humor impaired/corporate out 

there, when I put "Organization: Violet's House of Junk" I was kidding!!!!

(You know-ha ha ha ha ha ha ha  ha   ha    uug, o forget it! :)



Well, thanks again and if I ever get out of this hell, I will have all of 

you to thank- my warmest, gooshiest gratitude!

					Most sincerely,

						Violet the waif :)



ho ho ha ha hee hee ha ha ho ho ha ha hee hee ha ha hoooooooooooooooo...
